Since I am holding a Master of Science in Sports Science and I am also a Pilates instructor and Taekwondo coach, a lot of my friends would ask me for a weight loss (mostly female) or muscle building (mostly male) exercise program.
Initially, I was so patient and planned them the exercise program in details (bear in mind, I did not charge anyone of them). Nevertheless, 99% of them did not follow, or I would say they could not follow the program and finally went back to the original state.
In fact, to sustain an exercise program is actually as easy as pie! Our question will be, "how?" The key point is to Make it PART OF YOU! Make it a LIFESTYLE! I am not sure how often you brush your teeth but I brush my teeth at least 2 times in a day. Well, even though you do not brush you teeth daily, I am sure that most of you will on your FACEBOOK, like and comment the posts of your friends, for more than 2 times in a day.
Therefore, stop giving excuse and start jogging (even brisk walking is cool enough, after all you need to just start with something). Let me challenge you to:
- Walk (or jog or cycle or swim) 30 minutes
- 3 times per week (having 1 to 2 days gap in between the sessions)
- For 1 month (although you may see the difference after 2 weeks, maybe your tummy is smaller? :))
I cannot help much if you do not even want to spend 1.5 hours a week to see the difference (I am sure your Facebooking time or other social time will be longer).
So, Do it, Sustain it and you will see the Difference!
With the improved energy level you have achieved, your body is then ready to go for other types of workout, be it weight loss, muscle building, stamina building and etc.
Nonetheless, this challenge is for those who have no fitness background and those who were once fit but drew back due to injury or inactivity. You will definitely need more than this if you are already fit! :)
Remember, HEALTH IS WEALTH. No Joke!Be blessed, my dear friends! And comment if you have decided to take up the challenge and achieved the goal!
p/s: Hopefully the picture of my pre- and post- workout program will inspire you a little. :)
